It was a busy day. In fairness work has nothing to do with the extreme fatigue that gripped me. After my shift was over, I rushed to EWB to get some cash. The transaction would have taken only less than 5 minutes to complete but the staff gave an appearance of being busy but their talk of christmas plans gave them away. That taken cared of, I went into the motion of walking through the construction supply stores along Lacson looking for self-drill screw #7 without any idea about what I was supposed to buy. All the while I thought I was looking for the electric drill, drill bit and actual screws. When I had enough, I gave up the search and rushed to the nearest Chowking outlet and had a small serving of Halo-halo while waiting for my Crispy noodles and sis' chao fan. My disposition improved and I was set to go to the next stop, Citi Appliance. I waited outside, eating the crispy noodles out of the cup only to learn 20 minutes later that sis was inside all the while. After hours of debate, we settled for a green exterior color to complement the brown asphalt shingle roof; and cream hued latex paint for the interior so we won't be troubling ourselves about what furniture to match. We picked up ceramic tiles for flooring as well, snatching glances at the wooden parquet which we had our eyes on from day one. We just consoled ourselves with the thought of using the same for the attic rooms and left the store in peace. Well, not until Richard came to fetch us which is 30 minutes later than what was agreed. Traffic, grrrr!
